Your vertical axis turbine looks ideal for my location on a justy hilltop in the Yorkshire Dales, UK. I do not want anything bigger than 2kw. I only need the turbine itself as my mast is 10 metres high and very substantial. All grid-tie and electrical equipment is in place and fully working. What is the price of just a 1.5 - 2kw vertical axis turbine? Roger Bush I need to replace my 2kw wind turbine which has just died on me.

We ordered our UGE 4kW in February and its now October an it has yet to arrive... well in the correct color. There are two turbine options size and color and they got color wrong. Good thing too. We sent our first one to a distributor in CA. It turned out to be a bad unit. They had to have another made to replace it. The company is not very customer friendly. Your distributor will have to pay in full before your unit will ship. Be carful because they tend to just ship what they think you want as far as tower, electronics and the load resistors are also quite pricy we found the actually company Milwaukee Resistor Co. and bought direct saving lots of $$. Use caution. Also their device are not UL listed so check in your area. Nice product but wait to judge until yours arrives and is working.

But you need a big windmill to generate impactful power. According to their spec sheet, under realistic wind conditions (5 m/s, or 11 mph on a high tower) the turbine generates 1250 KWHr/year, or an average of 140 Watts. Worth about $200/yr, and enough to run a few CCFLs. But if you are not on a high tower or in a windy area, a waste of money. Might be useful in a few exceptional situations. Still, very pretty.
